There’s an old African proverb that states “It takes a village to raise a child”. Your village can be your close-knit family of aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents. It can be your closest friends raising children at the same time. A village can be made up of other parents you’ve met through your children’s friends. Your neighborhood can be your village. Or you may find your village among the many voices of support in an online forum like this. Regardless of what your family looks like or how many people are in it, everyone needs a village to help raise their children up, gather wisdom from those who have been there, and to be surrounded by those who can keep them going when things get tough.
